Most QUAY kitchen renovations in Richmond complete in 15-20 days from demolition to final inspection. This timeline includes cabinet installation, countertops, backsplash, flooring, and all finishing work. Custom cabinet fabrication adds 4-6 weeks before construction begins. Complex projects with structural changes may require additional time.

Yes, most kitchen renovations in Richmond require building permits, especially if you’re changing plumbing, electrical, or gas lines. The City of Richmond requires permits for structural changes, appliance relocations, and new electrical circuits. QUAY handles all permit applications, inspections, and ensures compliance with BC Building Code and Richmond bylaws.

Yes, most Richmond homeowners remain in their homes during kitchen renovations. We set up a temporary kitchen area with microwave, coffee maker, and mini-fridge. We install dust barriers, maintain clean workspaces, and secure your home each evening. Many clients use this opportunity to explore Richmond’s excellent restaurant scene.

Richmond homeowners most commonly choose quartz (durable, low-maintenance, wide color range), granite (natural stone, heat-resistant, unique patterns), and marble (luxurious, classic, requires more care). Quartzite offers marble aesthetics with granite durability. We help you select materials based on your cooking habits, aesthetic preferences, and maintenance expectations.

Consider your budget, style preference, storage needs, and timeline. Custom cabinets offer unlimited design options and perfect fit. Semi-custom cabinets provide good quality with faster lead times. We recommend solid wood construction, soft-close hardware, and configurations that maximize corner and vertical storage in Richmond homes.

The ideal layout depends on your space and how you cook. L-shaped kitchens work well in Richmond condos and townhouses. U-shaped kitchens provide maximum storage and counter space. Galley kitchens suit narrow spaces. Islands add prep space and seating. We assess your room dimensions, traffic flow, and lifestyle during our design consultation.

Small kitchen solutions include floor-to-ceiling cabinets, corner pull-outs, drawer organizers, vertical dividers for baking sheets, toe-kick drawers, and appliance garages. We design custom cabinets that utilize every inch. Consider removing a wall to create an open concept kitchen if your Richmond home’s structure allows.

Kitchen renovation typically means updating with new finishes, cabinets, and appliances while keeping the existing layout. Kitchen remodel involves changing the layout, moving plumbing or gas lines, removing walls, or adding square footage. QUAY handles both renovation and remodeling projects throughout Richmond.

Yes, we specialize in Richmond condo kitchen renovations. We understand strata requirements, elevator booking procedures, noise bylaws, and work hour restrictions. We coordinate with building management, handle all required insurance and permits, and protect common areas during material delivery.

Remove all items from cabinets and drawers. Clear countertops and relocate small appliances. Set up a temporary kitchen area in another room. Protect adjacent rooms with plastic sheeting if you’re concerned about dust. Plan meals or stock up on paper plates. QUAY provides a detailed preparation checklist before we begin.

Matching existing cabinets is challenging due to wood aging, discontinued finishes, and construction methods. We recommend replacing all cabinets for a cohesive look or refinishing existing cabinets to match new additions. If you only need a few cabinets, we’ll do our best to match species, stain, and door style.
